Synthetic Universe allows us to ‘see and hear’ galaxies evolving from time immemorial (video)

Blue and purple web on background. The two insets show galaxies. The first image shows the spiral viewed from above, and the other shows the galaxy edge-on. The latter looks more like a line.

Have you ever dreamed of witnessing the birth of the first galaxies? Perhaps you could fast-forward through billions of years of the evolution of the universe and watch those galaxies grow and form the universe we know today? Of course, unfortunately that’s not possible. But thanks to an innovative new and unique audio-visual simulation of … Read more

See and hear evolving galaxies in a new simulation

See and hear galaxies: The image on the left is a white 3D web with a concentration of purple. On the right are two galaxies.

Watch and hear how galaxies evolve in these new simulations. Video via Royal Astronomical Society. A new simulation allows scientists to see and hear the evolution of galaxies. COLIBRE simulations track the growth of the universe from its earliest days to today in unprecedented detail. By including cold gas and cosmic dust – Star raw … Read more
